Endowment

Overview

One of the hallmarks of an outstanding school is the size and impact of its endowment. Endowment funds distribute to the school, in perpetuity, income and realized capital gains that assist in reaching strategic goals and long-term improvements. There is no invasion of the principal, and funds are used in accordance with the guidelines put in place when established.

Currently, the Mariners Christian School Endowment is valued at over $800,000. The primary initiatives funded by the Endowment at this time are teacher professional growth (partially sponsoring master’s degree programs), financial aid (scholarships for students in need of short-term tuition assistance), and advancing the library program.
